FaZe vs. Virtus.Pro Predictions

Conclusion

First match between these two and we find ourselves on Train. I think that VP might be the best Train team there is, definitely top 3. FaZe are by no means bad on it, however I feel VP are just on another level on it and when they were in their huge slump you might recall that even then they did well on Train which kinda solidified that status for me. FaZe had a strange performance yesterday, they played Team X twice and they did really well in ESL, won 2-0 over them, two separate BO1’s, but then like an hour later in a BO3 for Starseries they lost 2-0 and got rekt, like they won Mirage 16:5 in ESL, then a hour later lost 16:4, idk just doesn’t make much sense to me. I do not think you can count out FaZe here, especially because Team X aren’t a bad side, right now at least so respect where it is due, I do think they weren’t trying their hardest in Starseries however.Of course, VP online we can’t get too far ahead of ourselves, while VP has been showing promising signs, even online, you can’t ever relax and put your full confidence in them, it is a BO1 online and if there is one thing FaZe is good at, it’s online BO1’s. FaZe as a team just has so much individual talent that they can win maps off the world’s best teams just off that, and the addition of Allu, while I do not think it is a massive upgrade to Fox, it definitely helps. Overall, 65-35 in favor of VP here. Expect them to win seeing how it is Train, however can never count out FaZe, especially since their Train is not weak at all.

VP have been in really good form but for the most part I try to avoid them online as they are highly unpredictable. I will write this pred for both as it applies. FaZe are pretty decent on both maps and they will for sure go into these games feeling confident. I am unsure how they will play today, as yesterday they were incredibly poor. They looked good in the first games and then I don’t know what happened to them, nothing came together and this was disappointing. I do think VP should be favoured on both maps, but FaZe do have a chance on both. I hate BO1’s, so I will go LOW/ICB on FaZe on both.
